The image shows a silver sugar shovel by Walter Pitkin. The shovel has a flat, wide head with a straight edge. The head is rectangular with rounded corners, slightly curved on the bottom. The handle is long and narrow, wider at the end, with a decorative engraving. The engraving appears to be cursive script near the end of the handle. The object is on a plain gray surface, casting a faint shadow underneath. The image is in black and white. The object is centered in the image.
